What is the scope of the Human Rights Reports Database?

The database contains human rights reports concerning Turkey published since 2014 by international organizations, regional institutions, governments, international NGOs, and Turkish civil society organizations.

Included document types include annual reports, monitoring reports, fact-finding reports, investigations, thematic studies, briefing papers, observation reports, submissions to international mechanisms, and situation assessment reports.

What type of documents are included?

To be included, a document must meet two criteria:

1. It must be a report-type publication (such as a monitoring report, investigation, annual report, briefing paper, or thematic study).
2. It must contain a substantive human rights component, including documented violations, human rights analysis, monitoring findings, recommendations, or legal and policy assessments related to fundamental rights.

The database does not include materials that primarily serve informational, advocacy, or news functions rather than substantive reporting. Excluded materials include: Press releases, public statements. open letters, event announcements, news articles, blog posts, interviews, opinion pieces, campaign pages, advocacy alerts without substantial reporting content.

How are reports classified by theme?

Each report is reviewed and assigned one or more thematic categories based on its primary findings, documented violations, legal analysis, and recommendations.

Themes include:

Arbitrary Detention and Arrest
Arbitrary Deprivation of Life
Enforced Disappearances
Torture and Ill-Treatment
Prison and Detention Conditions
Freedom of Expression and Media
Freedom of Assembly and Association
Freedom of Movement
Freedom of Religion or Belief
Judicial Independence and Rule of Law
Human Rights Defenders
Refugees and Migrants
Property Rights

Other Minorities

A single report may be assigned multiple themes if it substantially addresses more than one human rights issue.

Does inclusion in the database imply endorsement?

No.

The database is intended as a bibliographic and research resource. Inclusion does not constitute endorsement, verification, or agreement with the findings, conclusions, or viewpoints expressed in any individual report.

The purpose of the database is to document and organize human rights reporting concerning Turkey in a structured, searchable, and accessible format.

How often is the database updated?

The database is updated on a quarterly basis to incorporate newly published reports and maintain the accuracy and completeness of the collection.

Users are encouraged to revisit the database regularly for the latest additions and updates.
